A little bit of lubricant goes a long way, a good hose like the pole position ones, are a tight fit. Lightly Lub up the inside of the hose as well as the fitting...mainly on the big radiator hoses with water based lub as it helps to get them on. Also with the bottom radiator hose the easiest way to get it on and off is to remove that side of the splitter and do it from underneath the car.

Ok, so i had a go at it, but it feels like the thin hose which goes across to the right of the engine is welded on there, how best will i be able to get it off? lube, wd40, cut it?

if you mean the one on the thermostat housing, it is prob heat welded on.Try and put a wedge between the housing and the hose then use a large blade screwdriver and pry it off.
